Chapter 51: Li Jing is Li Jing (2)

"Khan, I think we can get our men to attack," said Uyan as he walked up to Tulima.

"No problem, then please rush over with the warriors and capture Lingzhou City," Tuli said with a smile on his horse.

Wu Yan suddenly looked at Tuli and said, "Why didn't your centaur rush over and me, you are more familiar than me here."

Tu Li looked at Ye Yan and said coldly: "Do you know who the guard of Lingzhou is?" ”

"I don't know," Wu Yan suddenly replied.

"It's Li Jing of the Tang Kingdom, this person has not lost a battle since he led the army, and I have also suffered losses at his hands. My tribe attacked Lingzhou in June, and I was injured by him, you can go back and see now," Tuli said, turning around and pointing at the cavalry behind him.

Wu Yan suddenly gritted his teeth and looked at Tu Li and said: "Among the Han people, except for Liu Heimin's historical harms, the others are two-legged sheep, this Li Jing, you are afraid of becoming like this, in vain you are the descendant of the Heavenly Wolf King."

Tuli didn't get angry at all, and still said with a smile: "I admit that I can't do it, then you go and show them your wolf teeth, if you can capture Lingzhou City, everything in it is yours, and I Tuli will never be blushing."

"You ......," Wu Yan pointed at Tuli speechless.

The reason why the two of them tossed like this actually understood in their hearts that although they were both Turkic, different tribes still made everyone estranged. The reason why Wuyan Tu was able to speak in front of Jieli was mainly because of his large tribe population, large territory, and this guy was not afraid of death, otherwise Jieli would not pay attention to him.

Don't look at the gang of people who are snatching things, they are like wolves and tigers, galloping like the wind, if they really attack the city and plunder the land, it is really not good. Now the leaders of the two tribes want to let their tribesmen suffer fewer casualties and preserve some strength, and the typical dead friends are not dead and poor.

Wu Yan suddenly saw Tu Li's stealing and tricking, his heart was furious, and he reached out and took out a wooden tablet embedded with a golden arrow from his bosom and said to Tu Li: "Khan, although you are a descendant of the Heavenly Wolf King, I am the leader of this army, and I now order your men and horses to attack the city!" ”。

Tu Li looked at Wu Yantu in a daze, he didn't expect that this guy really used chicken feathers as an arrow. Do you think you have a holy decree like the Han people in your arms? But in any case, it is also a token of Jieli, and the face that should be given still has to be given.

Tu Li pointed at Wu Yan Tu with anger on his face, but did not speak, turned his head and called a leader of the team, glanced at him, and asked him to lead five thousand people to rush towards the city wall with wooden shields held high.

Li Jing, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the Turkic soldiers who rushed over, and said with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth: "This is the bottom book."

He turned his head and said to the flag officer: "It is strictly forbidden to release arrows without my order, and those who violate it will be killed!" ”。

The Turkic three rows of archers stood under the city and began to shoot arrows at the head of the city, in the face of dense arrows, the Tang army lay behind the battlement wall and did not move, occasionally one or two arrows through the hole of the battlement happened to shoot on the Tang army and the injury was not very serious, and the military medical officer hurriedly came along the corner of the wall to bandage it.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the Turkic soldiers saw that the city did not react, and after a trumpet, the attacking team rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and several groups of Turks leaned the ladder against the wall and began to climb up, Li Jing suddenly shouted: "Release the arrows!" ”

Suddenly, the Tang army drums sounded like thunder, the shouts of killing soared into the sky, the arrows at the head of the city were like raindrops, and the boulders and rolling logs were also smashed towards the Turkic soldiers under the city like a storm. The Turks besieging the city had nowhere to dodge, and were so close that they were smashed by wood and stones, and suffered heavy casualties, and many archers in the distance were also shot, and they fell from their horses screaming, and in a few moments, the Turkic army was defeated and retreated with hundreds of dead and wounded.

Although Tuli didn't want to be cannon fodder, the death and injury of his own clansmen also stimulated the blood in his bones, he roared, drew his scimitar, turned his head and shouted to his men: "Fight again!" Avenge our warriors! ”。

From time to time, Tang soldiers were hit by arrows falling from the city, and more Turks were stabbed down from the long ladder, or they were shot down and fell to the ground to die, and countless people were killed by stones and giant trees.

After three consecutive rounds of charges, the Turks had nearly 1,000 dead and wounded, and the Turks at the foot of the Lingzhou city wall were dying, but the city was still immovable in the hands of the Tang army. At this time, Tu Li Ji woke up from the impulse just now, and seeing such a heavy loss, his heart hurt so much that his eyes turned black. He shouted to the heralds, "Quick, let everyone go back!" ”。

Seeing Tuli shrink back, Wu Yantu looked at him contemptuously and sneered: "Tuli Khan, the courage of the Heavenly Wolf King in your blood has been smoothed out by the Han people, I think the courage of Han women is greater than yours."

Hearing Wu Yan Tu say this, the old treacherous Tu Li glanced at him, shook the handle of the knife in his hand and did not speak, looked up at the sun in the west and said, "My men and horses have suffered great losses, I will go back to the camp to rest first." I'll admit that I can't, it's your turn in the afternoon, I'll see how you go."

Wuyan said to Tuli proudly: "Don't worry, before dinner, I promise to go to Lingzhou City to invite you to eat barbecue, and then you can choose the Han women inside."

Ignoring him, he left with the remnants of his defeated army dejected, and Wuyan Tu also shouted and let his men return to the camp.

Looking at the Turks who dispersed like a tide, Li Jing pursed his lips and said, "But that's it."

Ordered the subordinate general to let the soldiers defending the city eat and rest to heal their wounds, and looked at the general's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, Li Jing said, "What do you have to say?" ”。

The general gave a military salute and said, "General, my subordinates don't know why you didn't move half of the army defending the city?" ”

Li Jing stopped and said, "Do you see any clues?" ”。

"The subordinates are clumsy, please advise the general."

Pointing to the Turkic camp outside the city, Li Jing said: "There are two Turks who have come to attack this time, and they can be clearly seen as soon as they are in formation. Although there were many men and horses on the east side, they had no fighting spirit, and after he was repulsed in the morning, he had no fighting spirit, and it seemed that he should be a Tuli team. And the more than 10,000 people on the west side did not show the slightest mercy after seeing the damage of the Tuli men and horses, indicating that there was a gap between them. If I'm not mistaken, more than 10,000 people on the west side should go out in the afternoon, and if there is no support from General Duan, we will have to spend a lot of time to drag them down, but they never dreamed that there would be more people and horses in Lingzhou City than them! If I don't hurt them this time, I won't be surnamed Li."

The sun had already turned west, and the well-fed and well-slept Wuyan suddenly came out of the camp with his men and horses, and Tuli also followed him with his own men and horses. Glancing back at Tuli's people, Wu Yantu said to the cronies on the left and right: "Let the flock of sheep behind see what the warriors of the real Heavenly King and Wolf King are like."

The morning's observation convinced Wuyantu that the guards in the city were no more than 10,000 people, and with the half-day killing of the Tuli people, he was very confident that he could capture Lingzhou City.

Wu Yan suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Rush in, the first warrior to enter the city, the treasure women in the city will be chosen by him first, show your courage, on!" ”。

At the sound of the trumpet, the ladder once again set up the wall of Lingzhou City, and Wu Yantu had clearly seen that his soldiers' hands were still a few steps away from climbing the city wall, and excitedly he took the rest of the men and horses and rushed to the back of the attacking team with a loud roar.

As soon as he rushed to the front, Wu Yan suddenly looked up and saw the change in the situation at the head of the city, and he was stunned: at this moment, a dense crowd of soldiers suddenly appeared on the Lingzhou city wall, and the soldiers with spears stabbed the people at the top of the ladder with a few spurs. More archers pull the string and shoot down like a full moon, and sometimes they don't have to aim, just shoot down! The momentum of the Turkic offensive was suppressed at once.

In the middle of the transition between attack and defense, a lot of hot oil suddenly poured down from the city, and the scalded Turkic ghosts howled wolf, and then the burning wooden sticks with the cans filled with oil were thrown down from the city with a crackle, and in an instant the city was transformed into a sea of fire under the wall.

If the Wuyantu men and horses had maintained their normal formation, the attacking soldiers would have had a way to retreat, but he was too carried away and self-righteous. Li Jing just seized the opportunity of the people behind him to rush forward, and the people in front of him had no way to retreat, and shot him head-on.

When the fire stopped for a while, Wu Yantu, who retreated to a safe distance, was also burned by the fire, his face was blackened, and an arrow was shot in his shoulder. Looking ahead, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and some Turkic people who had been burned into black carbon were staring at the sky with weak hands, which was terrifying to look at.

I gathered the soldiers who could fight and counted them, and found that there were less than 6,000 men and horses, and I saw that my face twitched, and the loss was too great! The opponent is also too experienced, hiding so much strength, capturing fighters so accurately, using a chance to attack the city can beat him to a great extent, which also makes him shudder in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Tuli not far away, he found that this guy was gloating at himself, and suddenly became angry, turned his horse's head and rushed over according to Tuli.
